...people on the shore hardly pay attention to those in the boats. Occasionally the people will glance up to see what boats are passing. It is hard to distinguish the colors of the rowers' jerseys...
Reebok, with particularily canny marketing genius has pinpointed precisely this exacting clientele. In many ways, Reebok is the ultimate conformist shoe. But Reebok is exploiting the notion that we can distinguish ourselves as individuals according to what is in our closet, on our shelves or in our refrigerator or garage. Buy these shoes, the ads tell us, if you really know what you want...
Because SCID mice lack immune systems, the scientists did not expect them to reject the transplanted human cells. Researchers also suspected that the human fetal cells, since they are too immature to distinguish themselves from foreign cells, would not reject the mice in a graft-vs.-host response. But, surprisingly, the adult human cells used in the La Jolla research did not reject the mice either. "That these human cells recirculate around in the mice without caring is astounding," said Dr. Donald Mosier, head of the La Jolla research team...
...those being tested at the Cancer Research Institute of the University of California at San Francisco -- attempt to deliver specific drugs to specific cells. To accomplish this, microscopic bubbles of fat, called liposomes, are filled with a cancer drug and attached to antibodies that have the ability to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells. Injected, the package ignores normal cells and attaches to diseased ones. But getting the liposomes to stay in the blood long enough to do their job has been difficult until now. Researchers seem to have solved the problem by changing the surface chemistry of liposomes...
...does the search for the Jesus of history have any relevance for believers? Some thinkers, like Bultmann before them, are content to distinguish between a Christ of faith, who is knowable, and a historical Jesus, who is not. Other liberals, however, are searching fervently for a real-life Jesus, whether sage or prophet, to fill what they see as an urgent need for spiritual nourishment and a renewed impetus for social reform.
